earlier today he accused president obama of trying to gut one of bill clinton's signature legislative achievements, namely welfare reform. he unleashed this line of attack in mr. obama's home turf of illinois earlier this morning. here's what he had to say. >> i hope you understand that president obama in just the last few days has tried to reverse that accomplishment by taking the work requirement out of welfare. that is wrong. if i'm president, i'll put work back in welfare. >> reporter: now, all of this got started earlier this morning when the romney campaign released a new tv ad that seized on a memo that was issued by the department of health and human services last month. that memo basically was designed to provide waivers to states in implementing the welfare program. all of this drew a harsh response from the white house, which says the memo itself points out that the goal at the department of health and human services is to get more people back to work. and here's the take from white house press secretary jay carney. >> let me say that this advertisement is categorically fal

ryan, this relationship that he's had with bill clinton, he's bringing bill clinton pretty aggressively in the final few days. what does he hope bill clinton can achieve for him? >> one thing to point out, wolf, before i get to that is one of the people on the ballot i mentioned before is bobby rush. it's a week of old rivals for president obama. bobby rush is still the only candidate that's ever beaten barack obama in an election. >> he's the incumbent democratic congressman from the first congressional district in chicago. >> that's right. in fact, after redistricting in illinois, bobby rush and some of the other democrats actually carved obama's house out of that district so he couldn't challenge him the next time around. you know, bill clinton what he brings, one, he's the best communicator in the democratic party. which i think partially is an indictment of some of the other democrats because there seems to be a general consensus that clinton makes the case better for this white house and the president than anyone else can. and then as stu was talking in the piece before, he's very
